Process state propagation and start/stop queues, until they are empty.

Start, in specified working directory, with given arguments

Remove the given number of bytes from the start of the buffer.

Log a message. A newline will be appended.

Get the target (aka desired) state.

Extract bytes from the buffer. The bytes remain in the buffer.

Start the specified service. The service will be marked active.

Read a setting value, with an assignment or plus-assignment (append). In general a setting value is a single-line string. It may contain multiple par

retrieve data written via write()

read entire file contents as a string

Find out how many services are active (starting, running or stopping, but not stopped).

Supply data to be returned by read()

Allocate a file descriptor

Wait for a reply packet, skipping over any information packets that are received in the meantime. Note the reply packet may be partially read. Caller

Fill a circular buffer from a file descriptor, until it contains at least _rlength_ bytes. Throws cp_read_exception if the requested number of bytes c

Write all the requested buffer, and throw an exception on failure. Note: count is int

Advance the simulated current time by the given amount, and call timer callbacks.

Append a message. If the message will not fit in the buffer, discard it and mark overflow.

Why did the service stop?

Get the type of this service record

Resets current state, other than 'buffer_fail_bit', to clear (error-free).

Set whether this service should automatically restart when it dies

simulate the launcher process forking a daemon process, and supply the process ID of that daemon process in a pid file.

Load a service: issue load command, wait for reply. Parameters: dinit_conn - details of the connection to dinit server process name - the name of the

Prepare an output file in the output directory: determine full path name, unlink any existing file

Alter the current thread signal mask using the correct function (sigprocmask or pthread_sigmask):

Add a service record to the state propagation queue. The service record will have its do_propagation() method called when the queue is processed.

fill by reading from the given fd, until at least the specified number of bytes are in the buffer. Return 0 if end-of-file reached before fill complet

Convenience methods which perform type conversion of the argument.

Push a new input file TODO limit depth and/or prevent recursion

Stop the specified service. Its active mark will be cleared.

Supply a file content

Mark this and all dependent services to be force-stopped.
